So in the 70's and 80's I think, there was a drum and bugke corps by the name of BRIDGEMEN this is their site: http://www.bridgemen.com/
It'll 45 years since they were established. They had an "Banana Era" were they dressed up in outfits resembling bananas. They would also entertain the audience by running onto the field than starting their show for the competitive season.
If anyone has ever heard of them please comment. If you haven't, give your opinion. I suppose they no longer compete, but why not continue to enjoy them?
